Re: Whitecroft Mental Hospital

Re: Whitecroft Mental Hospital

I think it looks really interesting I’ve never even thought of the Isle of Wight as a potential UE holiday destination I think I may put it on my map!

Does look a good explore. Like the ivy taking over. Anyone know if its going to be demolished or re-developed into yet more upmarket apartments (as if we don't have enough :rolleyes: )

Thanks Pagan for the pics, they're great.

Theyre demolishing the coridors & some wards & converting whats left into apartments & offices, they also have planning permission for 200 homes in the grounds i think...

Dammit :( thats such a shame, so i guess if anyone wants to visit here-they should go pretty soon
 
Re: Whitecroft Mental Hospital

To be honest i'd imagine its completely stripped now - i might run out & have a look soon as it about 30min walk from me, Havent been there for a couple of years now.

Should have gone over the bank holiday and taken advantage of everyones bank holiday complacancy. :)
 
There is nothing to look at here now, its all either under construction or converted, and some are lived in now, esp the bit from the above pics with the strange sink, thats got people living in there now.

You can have a look at the pics on www.whitecroftpark.co.uk
 
Looking at the link you've put up UM, it looks like they've kept nearly all the buildings. They seem to have done a nice job of converting this former hospital/asylum, although the rooms seem a little small. Nice tho.

Cheers,

They had an open viewing on Halloween for the show flat!! From the stories i've heard not a good place to be then!:eek:

The have done a good job and the grounds will be wonderful, but the buildings still feel disturbed in places, and I'm not sure i'd like working out in the gym they're going to build round the clock tower.
 
Just seen this thread, glad to of seen some pics of it pre-coversion, thanks to all ;) The conversion looks ok though, specially if you like croquet on the lawn! :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
I have recently found out that the building developers have gone into administration a few days ago!

The place is only half-built, and last time I was there, I saw only one house that was actually being lived in (as there was a sign up asking people to respect the home owners privacy as the house was occupied!).

I know someone who was actually in there at one point in time, (they're still alive).

It's got a very strange feel to it. But marvelous pictures you've got there!
 
urban mole went up a week or so back and theres nothing worth looking at at all now its all developed and cleared
